About three years ago I got a really nice TI-99/4a
with the expansion
box and several boxes of books, software, and accessories at the
Goodwill in York for around $30, but that was all I ever got there.
The Salvation Army in York used to get Apple and 8 bit micro stuff
pretty regularly, but now have absolutely nothing worth looking at.
There are two Goodwills in Harrisburg that I've been to (both only
once).
One was pretty poor, but the other might be worth looking at as they
had a good shelf of computer books and manuals. (I wish I could
remember which store was which.)
In my experience, the only thrift stores worth going to for hardware are
the chains, like Thrift Town, Thrift Center, etc. At least that is the
case here in California and also in Raleigh, NC, where I spent a lot of
time a couple years ago.
